a phase 1 study of cc-486 as a single agent and in combination with carboplatin or abi-007 in subjects with relapsed or refractory solid tumors

Conditions: Urinary Bladder Neoplasms; Carcinoma, Transitional Cell; Ovarian Neoplasms; Fallopian Tube Neoplasms; Peritoneal Neoplasms; Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung; Carcinoma, Pancreatic Ductal; Tumor Virus Infections

Summary: the purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and to define the maximal tolerated dose (mtd) or the maximal administered dose (mad) of oral azacitidine as a single agent and in combination with carboplatin (cbdca) or paclitaxel protein bound particles (abi-007,abx) in subjects with relapsed or refractory solid tumors.
